Awesome. The first major cliff-hanger of Morrison's batman story arc. The Black Glove sets out to "Break" batman psychologically before killing him and basically succeeds. Well executed, although I think the link between this book and Final Crisis could be clearer.

Wow. Great story about Batman's greatest strength -- being prepared -- with a touch of "is he sane or not" thrown in for good measure. We meet Jezebel Jet, the love of his life; he battles with Dr. Hurt and the Black Glove using his own psychology as a weapon; we see the Joker not playing well with others, as usual; and the whole Bat family saves the day in the end.

I found it somewhat difficult to follow, but this was my first experience with the Morrison Batman universe. Very dark and complex, and a general good read. I'm sure I will enjoy it more upon my second reading after visitng more of his works with the DC universe.

For me the best part was the section called "The Butler Did It." A great look at some of the major events in Batman's life.

Grant Morrison + insanity is always a good combination.
can't wait to read Final Crisis!
